Vol 2 Chapter 1349 Lost
81 to 63
That’s still a big gap for the Blazers.
Jordan, who has already scored 4 points for the team, wants to make a greater impact.
Under Wilson’s high level of single defense, once Jordan does not take personal offense as the first priority, he will appear very flat.
If he wants to truly have an impact, he needs the cooperation of his teammates. Olajuwon and Caffey came to the high post at the same time for a double pick-and-roll.
Barkley, who is always regarded as a defensive loophole, is like an angry wild boar and Wilson double-teaming Jordan at this moment.
“Even Charles Barkley, as long as he defends hard, he looks quite powerful.” Lambiel’s joking words fell, and Keith Askins had already got an open space in the right corner.
Jordan looked like he couldn’t see him. At the moment when the Lakers teammates’ vigilance dropped, he threw the ball to the right corner without looking at it.
Askins received the ball and made an open three-pointer. 66 to 81
Not far away, Liu Yuqing raised her hand, indicating that this person was his fault. In fact, if we really want to investigate, the problem still lies with Barkley.
Because Barkley chose to expand outside to double-team Jordan, and Caffey who cut inside was left alone, Liu Yuqing could only leave the defender to block Caffey’s running space, and then Askins had no one to defend.
But from the point of view of matchup, Liu Yuqing has no obligation to block for Barkley, so it is no problem for him to miss someone.
“It’s okay!” Louie clapped his hands not far away and shouted, “Just call back!” “That’s right, call back!”
The Blazers’ melee defense, which seemed to be killing people, once brought the game to a standstill.
No matter how strong Dumars’ physical confrontation was, he couldn’t stand the opponent returning to greet him with his lower body.
When Dumars was forced to stop, Louis roared directly to the referee on duty: “Even Portland’s home court can’t allow them to defend like this?!”
So the referee called the Blazers a foul.
Riley wanted to press back, but in the eyes of the referee, Louie had higher prestige.
They can give convenience to the Blazers at home as much as possible, but it is impossible to ignore the illegal body movements as before.
This is Riley’s sorrow.
In terms of qualifications, he has played against Chamberlain, but as a coach, he does not have the capital to compete with Louis who can put more pressure on the referee.
Whenever Louie stands up, the referee gets nervous. The dispute was put on hold and the two sides returned to the game.
The Blazers, who can no longer engage in physical confrontation at will, cannot block Dumars after halftime. Dumars came to the frontcourt, and the Blazers’ defensive intensity did not decrease.
Because, not being able to make small moves doesn’t mean you can’t fight. Jordan clung to Wilson like a mad dog.
Askins, Russell, and Caffey are not outstanding in terms of personal ability, but if they only look at defense, they are all above the league commentary level.
After all, it is a team based on the Knicks dynasty as a template.
Louie sees similar defensive coordination in them as the Knicks.
Riley undoubtedly worked **** his usual defensive training.
Although the Trail Blazers couldn’t find a third strong point on the field, the defense and pressure formed by these five people combined were no worse than any team.
It can be said that their defense cut up the Lakers’ tactical nodes. In the last few seconds, the Lakers played very chaotically.
However, Dumars still made the right choice in the chaos – to give the ball to Benj.
Benjamin Wilson, a man who does not know what is difficult, the uncertainty in the eyes of everyone is the responsibility he is eager to accept.
Wilson took the ball, took a tentative step, dropped the ball and dribbled, and made an emergency stop to catch the signature step-back jumper. Hit the board at a forty-five-degree angle!
No reason! There is no logic!
Dumars made a wise decision.
Even Louis, when the tactics lose their effect, he will arrange a roll call or activate “beautiful basketball” to let Be take over.
Benj is the one who tells everyone the truth.
83 to 66
For the veteran, Wilson’s goal just now is just the epitome of his outstanding career. Rookies adore Benj for his dependable skill and big heart. Kobe felt the strangest.
Because Wilson can play like this every round, but he only chooses to be “the one” in times of crisis like before.
At that moment, Kobe’s heart trembled, because Wilson had put everyone’s hopes on him, and he lived up to it.
Then, back in the backcourt, he went from his bloodthirsty state back to his old self, low-key, tough, defending Jordan like he wasn’t the main character.
Some things cannot be felt in front of the TV as a fan.
The longer he was teammates with Wilson, the more Kobe realized how good Wilson was.
Wilson is like a viper who is good at using the environment to disguise himself. When you completely ignore him, his fangs will fall on you with lightning speed.
His team spirit is just a disguise.
In the end, he made his teammates a part of his personal ability in this way. When the opponent faced him, he faced not only Wilson alone, but also the entire Lakers team.
That’s Benjamin Wilson’s winning code.
That’s what Bryant learned with Wilson.
However, it is one thing to know, and quite another to do it. Kobe really felt that he couldn’t do what Wilson did.
Just when Kobe was out of his mind, Olajuwon took the ball with his back but didn’t notice Wilson approaching slowly. When Dameng came back to his senses, Wilson had already shot the ball.
Olajuwon’s ball was slapped to the ground, and several people scrambled into a ball, and no one could hold the ball.
Seeing the ball flying out of bounds, Wilson chased after it regardless, and flew to save it.
Live ball, people are not hindered, the Blazers wasted an offensive round in vain. Garnett quickly stepped forward and pulled Wilson up.
Louis pointed to Benj’s position and said to the substitutes: “See? That’s our number one star! In order to win the ball, he will do whatever it takes. Remember, this is not a game, this is about the season. It’s a life-and-death duel, no matter which one of you plays later, I just want to see you play as hard as Benj!”
As soon as Louie finished speaking, Garnett overtook Olajuwon in a high position. Although his explosive power was better, his confrontation was too weak. Not only did he fail to borrow strength when he was carrying the shot, he was also knocked off balance.
Of course the shot in this case will not hit.
However, Olajuwon was able to prevent Garnett, but he couldn’t control Barkley who sat down Caffey. Garnett missed a layup, and Barkley jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound to complete the dunk in the air. 85 to 66
After landing, Barkley didn’t forget to talk trash to Jordan, “Look, Michael, it’s 19 points away, which means you didn’t do anything in the past few minutes!”
As soon as Fliggy finished speaking, he and Garnett put on a pose to show off their muscles.
As Barkley said, the Blazers spent four minutes on both ends of the offense and defense, and the result was still a difference of 19 points.
The Blazers’ lineup has limited depth, and it is impossible for them to maintain this intensity until the end of the game. And the Lakers have plenty of player rotation.
To make matters worse, the Lakers are showing signs of playing harder and harder.
In the third quarter, Barkley and Wilson entered the state one after another, and each played a superstar performance to drive their teammates. At this time, the morale of the whole team reached a critical point.
Just after the Blazers dribbled the ball at halftime, the referee blew his whistle. Riley called a timeout.
Although no one can be replaced, although there is nothing to do, Riley still wants to call this timeout. Because the momentum of the Lakers is too fierce, it would be unimaginable to let them continue to fight.
The players were all off the court, and Riley looked at his players. They no longer had the momentum they had at the beginning of the second half.
Because of the four minutes of hard fighting, the Lakers were not affected at all.
Not to mention how much mental energy they have consumed~www.readmtl.com~ their bodies are a bit unbearable. They are tired.
Of course they get tired, with three of the five players on the field over the age of 34, this level of intensity is unsustainable.
“There is still a lot of time, control the pace of the game.” Riley replaced the veteran Corbin, and Fisher played again. He was making arrangements that he didn’t even think would have much effect. From this moment on, the balance of the game completely tilted towards the Lakers.
Louis, who has been coaching for many years, has keenly sensed the malaise from the Blazers’ bench.
This timeout, without any dramatic movement over there, combined with their entire team’s average age, lineup depth, and situation on the court.
The Blazers have lost.
Louis looked at the team members with a smile, his eyes resting on the tragic teacher, “Erwin, replace Chuck.”
After all, Louis looked at the others and said in a loud voice: “Let’s use “Beautiful Basketball” to give them a fatal blow!” “Remember the URL of this site, www. biquxu. Com, convenient for reading next time, or enter “” in Baidu to enter this site
